⚽️ Thomas, Walker, Williams, Burnett
It was a good start for the new Ressies team in their opening game of the season.
With Charlie Pannell picking the starting team and Louis Peake designated on the sideline to make the subs, the Inter squad featured four competitive debutants; Inter youth product Jason Walker made his first foray into adult football, and was joined by new recruits Cal Smith, Harry Furzeland and Harrison Westbrook.
We fell behind fairly early on, when barraged by corners and long throws by our opponents, one eventually lead to a ball dropping into the middle and being forced home from close range, a result of their work in training apparently, 1-0 to our hosts.
Connor Thomas, who made five appearances for the firsts last season, got us level with a cutting drive from well outside the area that evaded the goalkeeper’s diving efforts, 1-1.
After getting level we looked much the more comfortable side, and took the lead early in the second half with debutant Jason beat the keeper to a loose ball and finished into the net. A goal scoring start for the 16 year old, 2-1 to Inter.
Owen Williams got in on the act not long after, when Gabe Langford worked the ball well down the right and cut for Owen arriving in the box to put us 3-1 up.
Having already scored one, Connor was next to set one up, when a free kick from deep found James Burnett’s first time finish at the back post, 4-1.
We had numerous chances to extend the lead even further, with Jason and Owen forcing good saves out of the Mary Tavy keeper, and Charlie Pannell heading onto the crossbar from close range.
Mary Tavy got one back late on, despite an offside call, when a free kick bounced in the area and was finished for 4-2.
A winning start to proceedings for the Ressies, onto next week when we host fellow new side Prince Maurice at Roborough.
